Saffron, sunflower, chartreuse, avocado, sage, cerulean, turquoise, indigo, cornflower, midnight, heliotrope, aubergine, cerise, tomato, sang de boeuf, cinnabar, persimmon and cinnamon. Surely, these are not common colors one can find in a typical box of Crayola. But for the members of the Philippine School for Interior Design (PSID) Advanced Class 2010, these unique hues posed a design challenge, which they passed with, er, flying colors. The students’ graduating exhibit, dubbed Caleidoscope, proved that colorful design need not be as gimmicky as you think.
Held at Athena Building in Eastwood City, Libis, Quezon City, the exhibit focused on the four Cs—color, character, cause and cost—to create 18 classy, creative and cost-efficient interiors.
“A tricky part of design is bringing together different elements to bring about something uniquely beautiful that is also cohesive and well-thought of. This is something that the class has been able to do with Caleidoscope,” said PSID president and administrator Rosario Yujuico. “Color, character, cause and cost are melded to create a vivid sense of passion, personality, purpose and practicality.”
The booths, specifically structured to be an exact replica of a part of a house—bathroom, bedroom, living room, lanai and kitchen—were designed according to each team’s preferred theme and assigned color.
The booth designs range from the traditional to the contemporary and even futuristic. The interior-design students have also incorporated movies (Breakfast at Tiffany’s), artists (Lady Gaga), television series (Gossip Girl and Sex and the City) and places (Santorini Island and French provincial) to their creative concepts, thus creating a different vibe for traditional rooms.
The exhibit was more than a display of innovative and original pieces as the students played with unique colors and gave the usual hues a fresh new twist. For the viewers, they also provided color tips that people could actually use for their own homes.
